Kavli Affiliate: Richard Kessler | First 5 Authors: Jaemyoung Jason Lee, Masao Sako, Richard Kessler, Alex I. Malz, The LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration | Summary: Differential Chromatic Refraction (DCR) is caused by the wavelength dependence of our atmosphere’s refractive index, which shifts the apparent positions of stars and galaxies and distorts their shapes depending […]
Kavli Affiliate: Richard Kessler | First 5 Authors: Jaemyoung, Lee, Masao Sako, Richard Kessler, Alex I. Malz | Summary: Differential Chromatic Refraction (DCR) is caused by the wavelength dependence of our atmosphere’s refractive index, which shifts the apparent positions of stars and galaxies and distorts their shapes depending on their spectral energy distributions (SEDs). While […]
Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Frank Wilczek, Zara Yu, , , | Summary: Postulating the identification of $psi^*(x, t) psi(x,t)$ with a physical probability density is unsatisfactory conceptually and overly limited practically. For electrons, there is a simple, calculable relativistic correction proportional to $nabla psi^* cdot nabla psi$. In particular, zeroes of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Frank Wilczek, , , , | Summary: If we consider a cat to be an isolated mechanical system governed by T-invariant mechanics, then its ability to land on its feet after being released from rest is incomprehensible. It is more appropriate to treat the cat as a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Subhash Kantamneni, Ziming Liu, Max Tegmark, , | Summary: Integrable partial differential equation (PDE) systems are of great interest in natural science, but are exceedingly rare and difficult to discover. To solve this, we introduce OptPDE, a first-of-its-kind machine learning approach that Optimizes PDEs’ coefficients to maximize […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Shadlen | Authors: Natalie A Steinemann, Gabriel M Stine, Eric M Trautmann, Ariel Zylberberg, Daniel M Wolpert and Michael N Shadlen | Summary: Neurobiological investigations of perceptual decision-making have furnished the first glimpse of a flexible cognitive process at the level of single neurons (Shadlen and Newsome, 1996; Shadlen and Kiani, 2013). […]
Kavli Affiliate: Zheng Zhu | First 5 Authors: Chen Min, Dawei Zhao, Liang Xiao, Jian Zhao, Xinli Xu | Summary: Vision-centric autonomous driving has recently raised wide attention due to its lower cost. Pre-training is essential for extracting a universal representation. However, current vision-centric pre-training typically relies on either 2D or 3D pre-text tasks, overlooking […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Mayank Mishra, Matt Stallone, Gaoyuan Zhang, Yikang Shen, Aditya Prasad | Summary: Large Language Models (LLMs) trained on code are revolutionizing the software development process. Increasingly, code LLMs are being integrated into software development environments to improve the productivity of human programmers, and LLM-based agents are beginning […]
Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Wancheng Xu, Lang Cui, Xiang Liu, Tao An, Hongmin Cao | Summary: It is believed that dual active galactic nuclei (dual AGN) will form during galaxies merge. Studying dual-AGN emission can provide valuable insights into galaxy merging and evolution. To investigate parsec-scale radio emission properties, we […]
Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Teppei Okumura, Misao Sasaki, , , | Summary: Gravitational waves (GWs) may be produced by various mechanisms in the early universe. In particular, if parity is violated, it may lead to the production of parity-violating GWs. In this paper, we focus on GWs on the scale of […]
